Where to stay in Dubai

Palace Downtown is a city resort in the heart of Downtown Dubai, described as ‘The Centre of Now’. This beautifully designed low rise hotel makes a refreshing change to the high rise hotels in Dubai.

Found on the tranquil banks of Dubai Creek, the Park Hyatt feels anything but a city centre hotel. But this sleepy setting is easily the Park Hyatt's biggest drawcard and if you gaze across the waterfront, the glitzy skyscrapers of Dubai's bustling core lie on the horizon, pleasingly at arm's length. The Park Hyatt offers the best of both worlds and you'll find yourself thankful for a peaceful bolthole to return to each day.

Found in the heart of historic Dubai Creek, Al Seef Heritage Hotel is built in the image of a traditional Emirati village, fitting right in with the sandstone architecture of the city's heritage quarter and a glorious example of the Dubai of old.

This hotel is without shadow of a doubt, the most romantic hotel in all of Dubai. The contemporary blend of Moorish and Andalusian architecture creates a cluster of low-rise buildings which sit in stark contrast to the endlessly soaring skyscrapers of the city.

Synonymous with providing exceptional standards of service in a warm relaxed atmosphere, The Ritz- Carlton name epitomises the ‘luxury hotel experience’ – and Dubai is no exception.

Occupying a golden stretch of Blue Flag certified private beach overlooking the world-famous manmade Palm Island and the Arabian Gulf, Westin Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina is ideal for families looking for a seamless blend of contemporary and classical features in a picture-perfect location.

The only resort on the exclusive Pearl Jumeirah island, you’ll find few better located in Dubai than Nikki Beach. With the gleaming skyscrapers of Dubai’s skyline behind and a 450m-long private beach lapped by the shimmering Persian Gulf in front, there’s a spectacular view from every angle.

Fronting one of the Jumeirah neighbourhood's acclaimed beaches, the Mandarin Oriental combines stellar service, incredible interior design (the lobby will blow you away the moment you step through the hotel's doors) and a location that means all of Dubai's top sights are only a short taxi ride away.
